Egalitarian Chavurah Service: We hold a chavurah service on select Saturdays (approx. 3-5 times a year) in either classrooms on the lower level of the main building or the upstairs lounge of the Freedman Center. The service is traditional and egalitarian, using the modern Orthodox Koren siddur, and all participants are able to take active part in it. Families sit together and women fully participate in leading the services. The Chavurah welcomes all. Pre-bat/bar-mitzvah youth read the maftir and chant. Post-bat/bar-mitzvah youth are especially invited to take active roles. If you'd like to lead or have an honor or have any questions regarding this service including upcoming dates, please contact Malachai Hacohen <mhacohen@duke.edu> .
